About the Next of Kin Module

Modified on: Wed, 6 Sep, 2017 at 1:49 PM

In order to get access to the Next of kin center, the module has to be purchased. The next of kin center is a call center function that helps organizations log incoming calls from Next of kin during incidents. Log entries will be stored in a log separated from the main log. The next of kin operator registers incoming calls into the tool. The tool also provides the operator with the latest released information from the main log. It also shows which operator(s) have talked to a next of kin.

A user of the next of kin center is not able to read the main log. A separate, dedicated next of kin log is available for those users.

A person gets access to the next of kin center by being a part of a next of kin team. The first next of kin team that is added to the log automatically initiates the Next of kin center.
